Flawless characterizations here for everyone. Karen and Andy are both perfect here -- I don't know that I've ever encountered that Karen/Jim scene in the kitchen elaborated on through fanfic before - this absolutely hit the mark. I am enjoying this immensely.
Author's Response: Thanks - I always kind of wished we could actually hear that scene, but it's also good that it left a lot to the imagination.

wow, i really am loving this.
i want to say that i think it's extremely difficult to channel jim and espouse the kind of speech he would make--but you hit it right on the money. it was very realistic and...perfect.
keep writing! :)
Author's Response: Thank you!

YAY! I was so excited to see that you had updated. I literally just spent the last hour on my computer refreshing this page. I love this story so much, keep it up ;)
Author's Response: Aw, gee, thanks! That is a compliment to get the compulsive refresh. :-)

Ahhh I MUST GET TO MONDAY lol :)
I love Mark so much, random , but I just do =)
Author's Response: Thanks! I had the impression Mark was kind of a tool, but I'm not sure why. It works for me though. :-)

Wow. Sad chapter. I hope that they'll realize that there's really nothing wrong between them and be able to talk it out.

I love that he admitted that he came back for her. Whoa. Karen showing up at the door. I didn't expect that, nice twist. I can totally see Pam needing to get out of there. It would be just too embarrassing.

I liked the progression through the day, but I wish that we had gotten a little more. I did like that Pam acknowledged that her relationship with Roy was real, and it wasn't all bad.

Okay, I'm late, but catching up. Let me just say that I really loved the way that Jim owned up to treating her badly. I also liked that you had him have a little attack of conscience at the end. Off to read more!
Author's Response: Thanks. I think Jim probably had a lot going on his head at the time and I can see him being conflicted.

Oh man...first off - thank goodness we got Pam redeeming herself at Victoria Secret! For the love of God, thank you! Second...that scene with Karen was made of awesome. I could TOTALLY see something like that happening and would definitely be reason enough for Pam to think Karen hates her more than Al Queda. lol I'm really enjoying this series of fill in the blanks. :-)

yikes. how embarrassing for all of them. can't wait for more =]

I swear this is so believable! Of course we like to fantasize that everything was perfect. In reality this is so much better. I love having some angst thrown in there. Really am loving this story.

Guh, this gets better and better with each chapter, I can't express how much I love it =)
I loved the interaction with his family, and I loved Pam splurging at VS on sexy PJ's and then Karen showing up... omg love it so much!
Updateee!

This chapter had a lovely flow to it.
I never get tired of first date fic. I am really enjoying this one!
Looking forward to the next update!

I love when there is an original, fresh take on a well worn scenario. While you may call the details excruciating, I think that they really make your story a nice little treat. Looking forward to an update...
Author's Response: Thank you!

These details are NOT excruciating. They are BLISSFUL. I am in love with the idea of hearing every little bit of this and I really enjoyed the detail that Jim moved his desk back where it belonged the very next day! Excellent. I can't wait for the next chapter.
Author's Response: Thank you!!

I can never get enough of reading about the early days of Jim and Pam's relationship. Sigh. You've painted a picture here that is both realistic and fun to read. I've seen some discussions on the message board lately about whether Jim would hop into bed with Pam after (presumably) being with Karen so recently. This is an interesting take on that and I like what you did with it. He's reluctant, and the little reminder in the car does bring him back down to earth, but ultimately, when he's there in the moment with Pam, it's just the two of them and it's right. I can't fault either of them for that.
Author's Response: Thanks! I saw that discussion too and thought it was really interesting to see different takes on it. Ultimately though, I tend to think they were ready, even if they had reservations.

I am thoroughly enjoying this series. It’s something that’s never been done before and it’s always great reading something totally new and different. I love your style of writing, and the way you write Jim and Pam is perfect. I cannot wait for the next part =)
Date: June 03, 2009 09:29 pm Title: Thursday, May 17, 2007
I've not read a fic like this before and I'm loving it. I lovw how this first date isn't all roses and such. You captured them perfectly and I cannot wait for the next chapter - and maybe the first 6 months or so of their relationship *is hopeful*
Author's Response: Thanks a lot! :)
